You have just entered room "obgwhyn."
phishschtick has entered the room.
ph33r my rod: (( Obg-what? XD ))
phishschtick: (Ditto. xx;)
Omega19x: (oh come on. It's a bad pun. Think harder.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...ohhhh. ))
Omega19x: (that was creativity, right there. *points*)
phishschtick: (... *dur*)
Omega19x: (to catch up. Kura came over to visit. He and Ryou talked, he got the items. And they left to go to Ryou's doctor
appointment. Malik was running an errand for Isis. He'll meet them there.)
ph33r my rod: (( Gotcha~ ))
Omega19x: *currently in the SkipBo General waiting area, where they can see Dr. Malouf. He just called for Ryou, as Malik was
coming through the door.*
ph33r my rod: *walks in*
Omega19x: *Dr. Malouf walks out of one of the rooms and takes a look at Ryou.* "What on earth happened to you? I saw you a
week ago!"
Omega19x: *notices Malik, and smiles over to him, before turning back to Dr. Malouf.* "... I... I don't know... I haven't been
eating hardly anything but... but I'm... a lot bigger right here..."
ph33r my rod: *walks over to them, blinku*
phishschtick: (brb)
Omega19x: *Dr. Malouf's expression gets more serious. He can only think of a few things that could be happening. And he didn't
like any of them.*
Omega19x: "How long has this been going on?" *he presses on Ryou's abdomen, trying to get a feel for things*
Omega19x: "... l...less than a week... A few days?"
phishschtick: (back)
Omega19x: (wb)
phishschtick: (ty)
Omega19x: *the doctor continues to apply pressure, looking for tenderness, among other things*
ph33r my rod: (( WB~ *late* x.x ))
Omega19x: "a few DAYS?" *he breathes a slight sigh of relief. It's not likely a toxic dilation of the colon. If it were, Ryou would
probably have been dead by now.*
Omega19x: "You don't commonly see such distention from a few days." *then suddenly his hand stops over a particularly tender
section of Ryou's abdomen. He feels something strange. A large mass that... shouldn't be there.*
Omega19x: *notices the doctor stopping* "... w..what?"
phishschtick: "..."
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: "There's something there. An abnormal mass, possibly a tumor of some sort. I can't be sure. But it's obviously growing
at an unprecedented rate."
Omega19x: *stares and gulps*
ph33r my rod: *tenses up* "..."
Omega19x: "I've read about a few documented cases of such occurances. But normally, they take months and years to develop."
Omega19x: "I need a better look."
Omega19x: *he called out to one of the nurses to cancel his next appointments* "I may be sending you into surgery today. But first
I want to get a good look at what's growing in there."
Omega19x: "The ICD unit prevents me from using an MRI. I'll have to look at it with an ultrasound machine instead."
Omega19x: *reaches out for somebody's hand, completely terrified.*
ph33r my rod: *takes Ryou's hand*
Omega19x: *Soon, one of the nurses brings in an ultrasound machine for Dr. Malouf.* "Honestly, Ryou Bakura. I wish you
wouldn't keep coming back to see me."
ph33r my rod: "...would you rather him keep seeing Shogi instead?"
Omega19x: "I mean that as I wish he weren't constantly getting sick or hurt. If this were a perfect world, I'd be out of a job, and
happy about it."
ph33r my rod: "Valid point."
Omega19x: "Ryou, you lay down here on your back. This gel will feel a little cold, but it will allow me to slide this across your
abdomen more easily. It won't hurt at all."
Omega19x: *does so*
Omega19x: *a screen comes on, so that he will be able to see what's going on inside Ryou. He knows the other two visitors with
him are probably going to be watching over his shoulder the whole time.*
ph33r my rod: *duh*
phishschtick: *no, he came here to stare at the cieling*
Omega19x: *he starts moving the instrument along Ryou's swollen abdomen. Something comes on the screen, but it's difficult to
see. It doesn't look like one lump, but rather a thin membrane with four smaller lumps in it*
Omega19x: "What the hell?"
ph33r my rod: "......"
Omega19x: *and the lumps look almost humanoid in shape.*
phishschtick: *blink*
ph33r my rod: *blink* "What in Ra...?"
Omega19x: "... These look like fully functioning..." *he stops himself before saying 'fetuses.' He knows that's not possible.*
phishschtick: *... can tell what he was going to say anyway*
Omega19x: "I think I'm going to need a second opinion on this."
ph33r my rod: *blinkblink*
Omega19x: *Dr. Malouf is shaking, trying to convince himself that there has to be another logical explanation for that strange
picture on his screen.* "Nurse, please page Dr. Michelle Tama."
phishschtick: (I've got to go out for a while. Kura will just hang around quietly.)
ph33r my rod: (( Shall we assume that he WTFs at the appropriate times? XD ))
phishschtick: (Yes. XD)
Omega19x: *the nurse looks at him quizzically. "The obstetrician?"
Omega19x: "Or is there another Dr. Tama at this hospital?"
phishschtick: (Bye!)
Omega19x: (bye bye kura puff!)
Omega19x: (huggles teh puff)
ph33r my rod: (( *wavewave* ))
phishschtick has left the room.
Omega19x: "Yes, Dr. Tama from obstetrics."
Omega19x: *he records some of the ultrasound footage to a video tape, then takes it out, and walks over to the nurse.* "I want her
to see this tape, and for her to tell me what she sees.
Omega19x: *a Japanese woman comes in the room a few mintues later, having gotten the tape from the nurse.*
Omega19x: *she and Dr. Malouf leave the room quietly for a few minutes.*
Omega19x: *gulps* "... w...what's going on, Malik?"
ph33r my rod: *walks over to him, petting his hair* "I... have no idea." *totally creeped out by the
ultrasound images*
Omega19x: ".. Dr. Malouf looked really worried."
Omega19x: *on the screen, one of the 'lumps' seemed to turn its head and blink at Malik*
ph33r my rod: *shudders* "...eeeeep."
Omega19x: "...w..what?"
Omega19x: "I... I can't see from here... what did you see?"
ph33r my rod: "It..." *shakes head to clear the image out* "...oh man."
Omega19x: "... WHAT?"
Omega19x: (assuming Kura says WTF right around here)
ph33r my rod: "...it looked at me..."
Omega19x: *Dr. Malouf and Dr. Tama are talking outside the door. The words are a bit muffled. But the female doctor keeps
saying 'she' and Dr. Malouf keeps saying 'he.'*
Omega19x: "...w..what looked at you?"
Omega19x: *looks around at the walls for portraits or... or anything with eyes.*
ph33r my rod: "The..." *can't even say it*
Omega19x: *finally the door opens up again* "I know this is your field, but I assure you. It's not possible. My patient is MALE.
I've treated him dozens of times. I know!"
Omega19x: "You're surely mistaken. I know how to read an ultrasound. I'm not saying this looks like a healthy pregnancy. There
are clearly deformaties"
Omega19x: "The bone structure is growing wrong, and these... these eyes are downright inhuman. But she's clearly pregnant."
ph33r my rod: "............................................."
Omega19x: "That's not possible. HE doesn't have a uterus or any of the necessary organs."
Omega19x: "You can see a placenta in the ultrasound." *walks over to the screen, ignoring Malik and Ryou*
Omega19x: "Now, a placenta can attatch itself to other organs, in which there'd be a tubal pregnancy. But hm... you're right, I don't
see the proper walls of the uterus."
Omega19x: "That's my point."
Omega19x: *stark. white. disbelief.*
ph33r my rod: *ditto*
Omega19x: "But there's clearly some form of heartbeat from each one of these fetuses. So as of right now, they are alive. All four
of them."
Omega19x: *FOUR?!?!?*
ph33r my rod: "...what... the... fuck."
Omega19x: "The deformities aren't enough for her to have aborted them in the first trimester. So she might carry them to term. You
can never be sure."
Omega19x: "Michelle. I just saw HIM for an apponitment a week ago. And I can assure you there was nothing there. This isn't
possible."
Omega19x: "You must have your patients confused. SHE is clearly almost four months pregnant, based on the fetal development."
ph33r my rod: (( I think they're going to have to pull his pants down and check for the proper
genetalia before she believe he's male. =| ))
Omega19x: "..................................."
Omega19x: "I... I am... I am n..not a... a woman..."
ph33r my rod: "...what he said." *still entirely too stunned to form coherent thoughts*
Omega19x: *is quite stunned, then turns back to Dr. Malouf, frankly.* "Perhaps she's a hermaphrodite. With both sets of sex
organs."
ph33r my rod: *HEADDESK*
Omega19x: "Ms. Tama, I can assure you. HE is 100% MALE. I have overseen dozens of examinations, and even surgical
procedures."
Omega19x: *at this time, the disbelieving Dr. Tama is paged to an emergency appointment, and she rushes out*
Omega19x: *blink blink blink blink*
Omega19x: "... I... I am not a woman... I... I AM NOT A WOMAN..."
ph33r my rod: "...buh..." *complete. loss. for words."
ph33r my rod: *
Omega19x: "I don't see how this is possible. I honestly don't see how this is possible..."
Omega19x: *he looks at the screen, and another of the little 'whatevers' blinks at him.* "I don't believe this..."
Omega19x: "I mean, there's no way for it to... to have happened. There's nowhere for them to go! There's no way for your body to
make babies!! You're not a woman!"
Omega19x: *Ryou actually takes a little pleasure in hearing that statement. He doesn't hear it from other people often...*
ph33r my rod: "...make... ba..." *blinks* ".....................what."
Omega19x: "... m..make... b..babies?"
Omega19x: "... I... I..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *faints*
Omega19x: *turns abruptly around, to check on Malik* "Nurse! Nurse!"
Omega19x: "... oh god..." *faints too*
Omega19x: "Nurse!"
Omega19x: *a little while later, they both wake up. Malik is on a gurney (well they had to put him somewhere besides the floor).
Ryou is still on that same table, although the gel had been cleaned up and the machine taken out*
Omega19x: *blink*
ph33r my rod: *groan*
Omega19x: "They're coming to, sir." the nurse tells Dr. Malouf.
Omega19x: "That's a relief."
ph33r my rod: *reaches up to rub his head*
Omega19x: "... I... I must have... have been dreaming... For... for a... a moment there, I... I thought you were saying I... I was... I
was p...PREGNANT..."
Omega19x: "Ryou Bakura. You... I don't know how this is medically, scientifically, or even remotely possible. But you are."
ph33r my rod: "..." *sits up*
Omega19x: "And no one here can even begin to tell you why or how long it will take. But in a week, you've progressed through
three months of pregnancy."
Omega19x: *BLINK*
ph33r my rod: *shakes head, trying not to pass out again*
Omega19x: *ditto*
ph33r my rod: "But... that's..." *looks at Ryou*
Omega19x: "Not possible. I know."
Omega19x: *it is clear that Dr. Malouf is quite shaken up by this.*
ph33r my rod: "But he... I... we..." *shakes head again* "...oh Gods."
Omega19x: "Even though the... the fetuses... are highly developed, you can still have an abortion. Though it would be a surgical
one."
Omega19x: "for obvious reasons."
Omega19x: "... I... god... a... abortion?"
ph33r my rod: (( But then the aliens would be angry. D: ))
Omega19x: "... you... you m..mean... k..kill them?"
Omega19x: (Ryou couldn't hurt a fly.)
ph33r my rod: (( Nope. XD ))
Omega19x: "Yes."
Omega19x: "... The..they're... a...alive... oh god... A...alive?"
ph33r my rod: "........"
Omega19x: "Alive with unusual deformities. Ryou, there is no natural way for you to give birth." *can't believe he's actually
counseling a boy about this*
Omega19x: "I highly reccomend an abortion."
Omega19x: "...I... I can't.. .k..kill them... Malik, y..yami... we can't k..kill them... It's... it's wrong..."
ph33r my rod: "...what do you want to do?"
Omega19x: "... I... I can't.. k..kill them... They're... they're living... b..ba..babies..." *struggles on that last word for a while*
Omega19x: "I don't believe this."
Omega19x: "You can't be serious."
Omega19x: *doesn't know what to do*
ph33r my rod: "...um. Maybe we should... wait and see what to do when it's... y'know, time."
ph33r my rod: "If it took a week for him to get through the first... tri-thing... then logicially, it'll be
two more weeks before he's... yeah." *surprised he can think logically*
Omega19x: *gulp* "... y...yeah..."
Omega19x: "This can't be happening."
Omega19x: "This is extremely high risk. I cannot emphasize how high extremely high is."
Omega19x: "If you were a woman, with... with a normal pregnancy, in your condition, I would still advise against carrying the child
to term."
ph33r my rod: "..." *has a gut feeling that an abortion would not be a good idea*
Omega19x: "... I... I can't... just kill them, though..."
Omega19x: "... they're... l..living things... in..inside me..."
Omega19x: "Ryou, whatever decision you make, I will try my hardest to keep it away from the press. But they may catch wind of
this kind of story with or without my help."
Omega19x: "And that's the least of my concerns as to how this might impact you."
Omega19x: "I should have you admitted here immediately."
ph33r my rod: "... Well, if you think about his track record with these things... that bone disease
he had cleared up without warning. And the sha-- uh... aquilis morbiwhateveryoucalledit. That
did too."
Omega19x: "But you don't want that, do you."
Omega19x: "... n..no... I... I want to go home..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *suddenly reminded of the ol' TAUK VISION and shudders*
Omega19x: *hasn't thought of that, and let's just hope he doesn't*
Omega19x: "Then I want you on bedrest as much as possible. If anything else develops, anything at all, you should notify me
immeidately."
Omega19x: "Be... extremely careful in what you're doing. I don't know how to advise you on this, and there probably isn't a doctor
on the face of the earth who can."
Omega19x: *weak nod, still completely in shock over this*
ph33r my rod: *isn't much better off than Ryou is in that area*
Omega19x: "... okay..."
Omega19x: "... Dr. Malouf... h..how did... how did this.. h...happen?" *looks up at Malik. "We... I... I mean we didn't... um... I...
I've never... well... you know..."
ph33r my rod: (( They've never procreated~! *shot* ))
Omega19x: (*shoots*)
Omega19x: "I haven't the foggiest idea."
Omega19x: "I don't have the slightest clue how this could have happened."
Omega19x: *gulp* "... okay..."
Omega19x: *gets up off the table, and goes over to Malik*
ph33r my rod: *stands up* "..."
Omega19x: "... " *gulps, and leans into Malik's open arms*
ph33r my rod: *hugs Ryou, feeling a little uncomfortable at the lump in his stomach*
Omega19x: *hugs Malik, more than a little scared.*
Omega19x: *after all, the doctor is just about to send them off on their way. He can do little, if anything, for them.*
ph33r my rod: *gently strokes Ryou's hair* "There's got to be some sort of explanation for this..."
Omega19x: "... c..come on, Malik... l..let's go... go home... p..please?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...okay."
Omega19x: *whishes he knew what to do*
Omega19x: "I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Bakura." Dr. Malouf said. "I would say stranger things have happened. But I can't do
that with a straight face. And I wish I knew what to tell you."
Omega19x: *magical homelapse?*
ph33r my rod: *homelapse indeed*
Omega19x: "... Malik... I'm... I'm... p..pregnant..."
Omega19x: *gulps*
Omega19x: "I... we didn't... We haven't... and... and I'm... I'm not a woman... I... Malik, oh god..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *still doesn't quite know how to respond to that, just pulls Ryou into his arms
again* "I... don't know what to do, Ryou..."
Omega19x: "... You're... you won't leave me... w..will you?"
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "Of course not..."
Omega19x: "... because.. pl..please don't... I... I... I can't live without you."
Omega19x: "... not.. not now... especially not now..."
ph33r my rod: "...I know." *hugs him tighter, then loosens up again as he feels the bump again*
"We'll get through this, Ryou... we'll get through it together."
Omega19x: (oh, it's more than a bump)
Omega19x: *weak nod* "... okay... We'll... get through this together..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *reaches down to feel Ryou's stomach*
Omega19x: "... it's... a little tender... but... I... I can manage it..."
Omega19x: "... I think..."
ph33r my rod: *hugs him again* "There has to be something that put it there. Even as... messed
up... as your body is, I don't think it would spontaneously produce life..."
Omega19x: (thank God Anzu isn't in this rp anymore.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...oh man. ))
Omega19x: "... I... I don't... I don't know... I've never... spontaneously produced life before..."
ph33r my rod: "...I'll find out."
Omega19x has left the room.
